EUGENE, Ore. — Two tickets were punched by Oregon alums Saturday for the World Athletics Championships coming up in July at Hayward Field, and the Ducks saw another age-group national champion crowned.
Cooper Teare rode the shoulder of his former UO teammate Reed Brown for much of Saturday's final in the men's 1500, before Teare went wide off the final turn and stormed past the rest of the field to win a national title at the USATF Outdoor Championships. Just a few minutes later, Alaysha Johnson took second in the women's 100 hurdles, also clinching a spot back at Hayward Field for Oregon22 beginning July 15.
